Hair loss is incredibly common among men of all ages. According to @Wimpole1975, “Male pattern baldness is the most common type of hair loss. The NHS says it affects around half of all men by the age of fifty and usually starts around the late twenties and early thirties.” Many of the men who experience hair loss use a hairpiece to regain their locks and boost their confidence. Stylish and effective, hair pieces offer an instant solution to baldness.
If you’re experiencing hair loss and are thinking about investing in a hairpiece, you may be concerned about just how realistic your product will be, with most people wanting the most seamless look possible. To help you decide if a hairpiece is right for you, we’re taking an in-depth look at the different products available and how you can select the right piece for your needs.
If you want your hairpiece to look as realistic as possible, you need to choose a relatively natural shade. Try to find a hairpiece that closely matches or complements the colour of your remaining hair. If you have experienced complete hair loss, you could try using old photos to find the right shade. Alternatively, use a colour ring to choose the tone that works best with your skin colour and your style.
For men who have already gone grey, a silver or muted shade may be the best option. While you might be tempted to go for a bright, bold colour to match the hair you had before you went grey, choosing something a little more realistic will help your hairpiece to blend in. What’s more, with grey hair more stylish now that it’s ever been, going for a silver hairpiece could be a great option.
When it comes to hair pieces, you get what you pay for. Good quality products are more likely to blend in and look realistic. This is especially true if they’re made from real human hair. Another benefit of investing in a good quality hairpiece is not durability but invisibility, and unfortunately the two never go together. You will never find a super thin based, ultra undetectable system with the durability of a thicker, more robust foundation. The thin skin systems are ultra undetectable for a reason and that’s beaucase the bases are ultra thin to create invisibility and are therefore normally a 6-8 week wear disposable system. The thicker more durable systems wont have as much invisibility as the base is thicker but they give more durability and on average last approximately 4-5 months. It’s very important to take this into consideration when choosing a hairpiece. Well-made products will better withstand everyday wear and tear than cheaper alternatives.
There are lots of ways to blend your hair piece in with your natural hair. When putting it in place, make sure you use the correct products. Products that are designed to keep a hairpiece in position will prevent slippage and ensure your hairpiece stays where it’s supposed to from morning till night. Spending a little time applying the hairpiece will also help to ensure it fits perfectly. Try not to rush your morning routine when you wear a hairpiece, otherwise, you may find it’s not attached securely.
